About Dr. Rick McCarthy

Athletics have been an integral part of Dr. McCarthy's life since the age of five.  Growing up, he was active in soccer, little league, volleyball, and basketball.  As a high school athlete, Dr. McCarthy began weight training in order to gain muscle mass and build his endurance. 

When he was a freshman entering the University of Southern California, Dr. McCarthy walked on the Trojan baseball team as a pitcher and played for the program for four years.  He was also involved in USC's intramural sports where he was voted 'Best All-Around Athlete' for the entire USC intramural program during his senior year.

After college, Dr. McCarthy pursued his chiropractic degree in order to blend his passions:  fitness and chiropractic.  He discovered the amazing natural benefits of keeping the spine healthy, and its importance to the entire body. 

In order to offer his patients the very best exercises necessary to strengthen their conditions and achieve their goals, Dr. McCarthy became a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner as well as a Certified Personal Trainer.

Discovering how the structure and condition of the body influences how it functions and its ability to heal itself, Dr. McCarthy recognizes and respects the importance of keeping the body healthy and safe while helping his clients reach their goals injury-free.

With his extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, nutrition, and physiology, Dr. McCarthy approaches health and wellness in a unique way and provides perspective that other personal trainers and chiropractors do not.
